Yeah but how could his hair get cooked and not his eyebrows? It makes absolutely no sense...

So what. The old movies shouldn't be altered to suit the inferior new ones. It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense. The old movies don't exist to serve the new ones. That scene worked the way it was. It was a cool scene in a great film and shouldn't have been changed to suit a crap scene in a worthless film made over twenty years later. If Lucas was worried about them fitting together he should have found a way to make the new film fit in with the old one, not make the old film fit in with the new one. The eyebrows are crucial for the emotional effect of that scene and the emotional effect of the scene is crucial for the whole trilogy. As is Shaw's final appearance as a force ghost. With those two alterations Lucas stabbed his saga in the heart and insulted an actor who turned in fine work.

Yeah, I agree they shouldn't really be altered in the first place but they should have done something with Shaw's eyebrows in 1983. Its established in the old trilogy that Vader's hair got cooked somehow (evidenced by his deformed, hairless head), why should his eyebrows remain?
